Once upon a time.. I didn't mind the occassion time to myself. To just do what I liked to do. In sweden, I lived a life of my own, simply because I was sure of the life waiting for me back home. Maybe then I was a confident being. And now, all by myself, I wonder who is missing me now.

Settlers Cafe

Today, I met up with yy, una and ym for lunch at foster's holland v. Was supposed to go back to hall straight after that, but I ended up joining them at Settlers Cafe for 4 hours, along with rebec, su and qh. Didn't need much persuasion to go at all, though I have my FYP waiting for me. Anyway, along the way I thought of a solution on how to solve the problem I was stuck with for my FYP before I breaked to study for the fuzzy paper. so yey!

Anyway, I think Settlers is a really nice place to spend the afternoon. At the special price of 7.20 for 4 hours, it's cheaper than a 2 hour movie, and it allows for a lot more interaction. I couldn't help but run some maths in my head. Come to think of it, each time 6 of us go to Settlers, we spend 42 bucks and actually have enough to buy an entire board game ourselves and for keeps! but yeah... well, you won't get free flow drinks, and you won't get to choose from i dunno 30 over? games and chuck them away once you don't like it. So yeah... still a nice place to hang out if you wanna meet up outside and do something together. Anyway, the people there are very nice and friendly, so I will do advertising for them. Spend an afternoon at Settlers, very fun! =)

Anyway, I think each game I played today had its own characteristics, and had something I liked about it. Cranium was most engaging and my overall most fav game. A dog's life's game concept was a tad boring, but its cute little cards and counters made up for it. Hehe.. Jungle speed gave me lots of laughs for its agressive nature and the animal game was nice cos I got to choose randomly and keep a little pet to myself, even though it was a rather ugly owl. Ugh.. i don't like birds... haha.. *hoot*hoot*...so farni... =) OH yes! And thanks una for reminding me of the taboo! how can I forget that, with special effercts, printer and bust.^0^ you have good memory, I can't remember any other words now.

a dog's life, very colourful board, but I get lost looking at the board. I prefer simpler games.

Cute little pets from the animal game, see my big fat owl?

for honour and glory

Ah!! back from lunch with my parents. Ate at grand shanghai at grand corpthorne waterfront cos my daddy has a special voucher. they very nice, offer to give me voucher for another place for 2. Hmm.. ok, thanks.. now, who should i go with? hurhur... Why... stuck in my room, having to do fyp.. Stupid smoking for the mosquitoes being done outside my window... so smelly. so sianz... So quiet.. wonder who's still around. Looking back...What has 3 weeks of irregular sleeping hours, camping in the study room given me? _-- a breakout of massive pimples, ulcers and weight gain. yucks... I need to change to some healthier lifestyle. Maybe unhappy thoughts surface on the outside as well. Sigh.. better get the results I expect. Some people ask me why I still continue trying so hard. Anyway, pia also no first class, slack also comfirm second upper liao what... Actually, I don't study very hard what.. I slack most of the sem away, but if one still doesn't buck up and put some discipline into studying for the exams, then I realli dunno what kind of student one is. so why do I still bother? becos of pride lor.. maybe I'm a snob, I cannot bear to let others think I've gotten some other lousy grade knowing fully well that I could have done better if I studied. And then again, have I really put in my best? It's my best 3 weeks of cramming, putting in my ultimate exam-smartness into action, but what about the early parts of the semester? Playing IBG or IHG full-on, but for what? really for what...How come only by 4 yr, i feel so disillusioned by all these hall activities. Is the time invested in them really worth it?Then again, how high is the return from actually doing my tutorials before the solutions are released? never believed in it.. I guess I only work till Marginal Studying = Marginal Results. K lah... Just ramblings when I'm stuck in my room, unable to go out after exams. hope results turn out fine. PRIDE!!!!!! for honour and glory!!!

First day after exams

Soo! Today is my first day after my exams. Currently waiting for my parents to come pick me up to go for lunch :) Yey! I am really blessed... So what does someone do on the first day after exams? She wakes up at 8.30 am in the morning amazingly, and slacks around in her room, because she has no mood to start on her FYP, but she knows well enough that she has to get down to doing it and not go out and have fun

"shopping" in orchard

Why is it that everytime you go up shopping, all ready to spend that cash and bring some goodies home, ya end up not finding anything that you really want. I have no time and patience for days and days of shopping. Actually, I'm a lousy shopper. Up to forever, my mom had to force my sister to bring me along shopping, so that I'd buy something else other than T-shirts.Then I'd stand outside the dressing room, refusing to look around as my sister tried on her skirts. Hehhehe... and then year after year, at the end of the day I couldn't help but buy some t-shirt for chinese new year and my mom and sis would give up on me. Now I only know how to shop at the most common brands. I can't spend hours and hours scavenging for good buys in Far-east, at some small shops. Don't know how it works. Everytime, I buy some shoes on my own, I don't wear them, and end up borrowing everyone else's. Ok, so that's everytime I buy going out shoes, not beach slippers or sports shoes, but yes!! finally, I have found my birkenstocks! Ok, I usually think its very weird how some people can put up posts of every single shopping item they buy, but yes! I have to show off my favourite birkenstocks! Cos this is the pair of shoes I've decided on my own and practically worn everyday this sem. And in my hands, or feet, nothing lasts very long, cos I am a natural-destructor. So yeah... hope they stay alive as long as possible. It was love at first sight when I went to look at them at wheelock place with chris and liyan.

Dearest pop energy, madrid! (so bimbo hahaha!)

4th floor power!

ok, here's another pic I koped from liyan's blog. The collection of birkenstocks proudly owned by the 4th floor gals. That's my dearest pop energy madrid, but not on my feet, but soh silly's. At that pt of time, I was being anti-social, camping in the study room and missing out on all the photo taking madness.

Anyway, today I was supposed to be shopping with Big S but we didn't buy anything in end, except for a pair of earrings, but I bought it seemingly cos we had to buy something more than anything else. Ended up spending money on food rather than clothes. You see lah.. that's why we keep getting rounder. ^0^ End up eating Yummy yoghurt, pepper lunch and nydc cookie monster mudpie. Pepper lunch is the "new" fastfood restaurant at taka B2 which I once laughed at and said that only idiots will pay 15 plus plus for fastfood, but yes... what to do... K lah, wasn't all bad in the end.. the concept is quite interesting. Food is so fast, u're supposed to cook it urself when its served. pretty good sales gimmick.

eat and eat and eat

all smiles in front of the food :P

Standard line: Quickly spread the butter and mix the food up. Then choose the sweet brown sauce or salty garlic sauce. Something like that... The paper around the hotplate says... the more you mix, the more delicious.. Eh?!?

To freedom or doom! The Answer!

Don't look at this if you haven't read my question in the previous post on the 25th of Nov! Click on the links at the side and go there now!!























Right, you can ask the both: If you were the other person, which road would you tell me is the road to doom? Both will point you down the road to freedom. Go think for a bit. Still dont understand, come ask me lah... and I will explain to you over a free coffee from you ^0^

Sunday lunch

Eh...Today, we did the usual pig out at LEI Garden. If you want dim sum variety, you have to go to Lei garden, although, we tend to always end up eating the same ol favourites. Today, we had favourites plus Gui Fei clam, bamboo clam and lobster. ArghHH!! Okay... Comfort foood before retreating to hall to study. OoohH! and I got to da bao nice dim sum too. Yey!

Okay, the most ridiculous eat of today is 小笼包. looks exactly like a normal xiao long bao. Same size too! And it costs $6.50 for one.... Most expensize 小笼包 I have ever eaten.. Shen jing bing. I was telling my mother I can eat 25 饺子at bizad. . its really nice, the filling is hairy crab meat and the "汤", soup is like crab roe broth. Wah...Ok, but its too extravagant.. Big S, the 点心nice or not? Jm says one day must go lei garden to eat.. Hehe... He's very impressed by the千层糕。Hehe!!

Me and my happy pill.

Check out her new fringe! She's very angry that my daddy keeps calling her 傻妹, but I think its not too bad. quite nice what? can style like the pretty dolls... hehe... Hmm.. should i too?? ^0^.. Oh yah.. my sister and I were up t 2 am yesterday playing the silly doll game. Yes.. this silly doll game. *warning! It's really really bimbotic! But this game seriously makes me want to go shopping for new clothes. ^0^ http://elouai.com/doll-makers/new-dollmaker.php

Over the weekend

Okay... I did state in a previous post, that 25th to 27th were supposed to be for FYP and studying, but yeah yeah.. I just couldn't do it. I spent the whole 3 days watching vcds, sleeping, shopping, eating and going for David Tao's concert! And I am a happy person. :) I needed the time to retreat away from hall and back to the comforts of my family and home.

I spent friday out shopping with my mummy and I bought 6 tops. ehehehe.. 3 cheapies from U2. and 3 not so cheapies, but still on sale from Esprit. Then I went home, and ate left over pizza and watched the 5th episode of this korean drama, before I zonked out halfway through the 6th disc. Must understand that I woke up at 4.30am the previous night.

Next morning, i awoke at 7am to continue vcd watching.. Ehehe... Then at night!! Ta da! I went for David Tao's concert with my sister, mel and her friend... Yey!! Decided to save some money and sat at the 80 dollar ticket area. Nice surprise to find out that the mel's friend from law joining us for the concert turned out to be my old friend Waikeong.

There was a lack of atmosphere in the 80 dollar area. Hardly anyone yelling at the top of their lungs or spontaneously swaying with the music to get me into the mood, but i still enjoyed myself with my sister. As luck would have it, the only 2 crazy fans were the 2 girls sitting directly in front of me and my sister. Like.. they are the only 2 who were standing up in the whole balcony and jumping around occassionally. They obsructed my view and I had to catch glimpses of David tao through small holes between them. felt a tad irritated, but actually, you cannot blame them. How can you scold 2 hyper fans at a concert? When that's truly how I wish I was feeling and acting. Maybe when I was once a raving teenager? Or maybe if I was one of those fans sitting in the 160 dollars area, I'd scream my lungs out and jump like mad.. Haha... So yeah... 2 crazy fans, not dampened by the subdues fans in their balcony. Kekeke..

Really enjoyed myself yesterday. I really liked the unplugged songs and the quicker songs in the middle of the concert. He struck a chord like never b4 when he sang pu tong peng you unplugged. And later on he sang hu die. Actually, I never liked this song very much before, simply cos I thought the tune was so-so. But yeah, david tao dedicated the song to one of his fans, who wrote to him telling him how this song gave him hope when he was feeling sucidal, so I went to relook this song. He's actually talking about GOD in this song, and I'm not a christian, but it's OK. I still think its a very beautiful song, and somewhere out there, there is someone looking out for me and loving me as well. ^0^


歌手：陶喆 专辑：黑色柳丁

当这世界已经准备将我遗弃
像一个伤兵被留在孤独荒野里
开始怀疑我存在有没有意义
在别人眼里我似乎变成了隐形
难道失败就永远翻不了身
谁来挽救堕落的灵魂

每次一见到你心理好平静
就像一只蝴蝶飞过废墟
我又能活下去
我又找回勇气
你的爱像氧气帮忙我呼吸

我又能呼吸我又能呼吸
你就是不愿意放弃
生命充满乱七八糟的问题
像走在没有出口的那个迷宫里
oh no 一次又一次只会用借口逃避
怎么你从来没对我彻底的死心
我有何德何能值得你珍惜
为何你对我有求必应
每次一想到你像雨过天晴
看见一只蝴蝶飞过废墟
是那么的美丽就像一个奇迹
让我从倒下的地方站起woo....
只要一靠近你就觉得安心
你看着我的眼没有怀疑
你对我的相信
让我又能重生
不管世界多冷我还有你
我有你
爱我这样的人对你来说不容易
我的痛苦你也经历
你是唯一陪我到天堂与地狱

每次一想到你像雨过天晴
看见一只蝴蝶飞过了
废墟我能撑得下去我会忘了过去
是你让我找回新的生命

yeah..每次一见到你就心存感激
现在我能坦然面对自己
我会永远珍惜
我会永远爱
你在我心底的你的位置
没有人能代替yeah
你就是那唯一
